Michele Powles

Michele is a poet, best-selling novelist and Mum to two kids, both equally obsessed with creating new worlds (mostly under their beds).

She was the 2010 Robert Burns Fellow and her writing has been published internationally and broadcast for radio in NZ and the UK. She’s also a screenwriter, and these poems are from a selection written to accompany film The Sea Inside Her and a series of paintings by Alyx Duncan as part of an intimate and popular exhibition of the same name.

“The Ngahere Exhibition is not only something you see and touch, but something you feel. Through the poetry of Michele Powles, the forest is given language. Her words deepen the canopy of experience, reminding us that the ngahere lives within us as much as around us.”
